Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.25 cup Ground flaxseed
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds, or until the mixture is softened. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract to the peanut butter and honey mixture and stir to incorporate.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or your hands until the mixture comes together and forms a slightly sticky dough.

Step 5

If desired, fold in dark chocolate chips and/or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Transfer the mixture to the dish and press it firmly and evenly into the pan using your hands or the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and firm up.

Step 8

Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the mixture out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into 8 rectangular bars or your preferred size.

Step 9

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
